and objectives would be given by considering many aspects of research like time, cost, resources
etc. So in order to carry out this project firstly aims and objectives are being explained along
with effective project management plan which includes certain aspects like cost, time, resources
etc. Moreover, work break down structure and Gantt chart will also be prepared and research will
be carried out taking into consideration qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Additionally research analysis will also be done and certain recommendation and reflection on
project will also be explained in this file.
TASK 1

Quantitative Research:-
All the data collected in the quantitative research is numeric in nature and collected
through ways like surveys, questionnaire etc. Through this analysis, researchers believe that data
will yield an unbiased result because it is based on facts and figures and are generalised to some
larger population. This method includes observable phenomena through computational
techniques, mathematical models, theories, hypothesis and statistical observation (Špundak,
2014).
Qualitative Research:-
In this method of research, researchers use characteristics, symbols, metaphors,
definition, meanings and description of things to answer when and how certain phenomenon
occurs. This research particularly area application on the natural sciences and human elements of
the social, qualitative market research, service demonstration, business by non-profit and
journalism. Due to all the above mentioned factor, this approach would be used in the research
with the aim of getting highest accuracy and authentication in the research.
Primary method:
It is a type of data collection technique in which the information is collected for the first
time with the help of observation, questionnaire, focus interview etc. Thus a researcher take the
data collection method into consideration to accumulate data related to project as this method
help to collect related data which will help in completing the project plan effectively and
efficiently.
Secondary method:
It is an approach in which a research gather information through primary sources like
through published books, internet, library, journals, magazines etc. All the data which is used
through secondary resources is collected by other researcher and stored on the online and offline
platform so that it would help the society.
Thus, to collect information, researcher take into consideration qualitative research
method and primary data collection method like questionnaire. As questionnaire refers to a set of
questions along with options in which the respondents needs to mark the answers according to
their perceptions. Therefore a researcher consider 15 respondents and they are the customers and
